This blog isn't just for advertising...

This blog also hosts my Weekend Wrap Up! Hey blog readers, nice to see you again. I wish I could pop in here more and write, but the offline world is slowly seeping into my online getaway:*( So here's the haps...

I have a lot of graphic design projects going on and no matter how much I say I won't work, I work. Yes, I've said this a million times on here already!! lol So here's what I can show you now...

The reason I say "here's what I can show you now", is because I have more than a handful of projects that aren't ready to reveal. Not 'cause I am slow, but because they change on a daily basis. I'm not complaining, love my customers, muah♥

More importantly than me, we go back to the Shore... Jersey Shore that is!

Some new info;

http://plixi.com/p/75027488

Sammi has cut bangs in her hair in real life and I HATE it! (See Above Link w/Ken Paves) Girl, stop letting Jessica Simpson's stylist talk you into that Hollywood BS, you are beautiful and young.

I am beginning to love Deena on Jersey Shore, even though she seems a bit dirty.... I love when she tells Sammi the "Meatballs got you" in next week's Jersey Shore. It's about time someone in that house had her back. I think they really make her look worse than she is. Ron is really a jerk and has some type of severe mood disorder. Not that I personally don't, but that's what pills and therapists are for... Takes one to know one! FYI, I still want Sam and Ronnie together!

In other JS awesomeness, Snooks passes out in the dog enclosure! I have to say, I have done the same thing in my own kitchen w/out even being drunk! The dogs are the only sober ones in the house, so it was probably the safest choice. At least if she has alcohol poisoning they can bark and alert someone.

In other more personal news, my throat is almost closed off from something I ate or did yesterday. Either that or there is some horrible new type of flu that makes your uvula grow 100 times it's regular size. Could it be the homemade fudge and espresso diet?? lol I have NO immune system left. I also pulled a tendon this week on the way to exercise class, who does that???

I have a lot to do this week and hopefully I can get some new giveaways and other info. out to my wonderful readers. Miss you guys!

Thanks much for stopping by,
T♥

P.S. Happy Super Bowl Day to those who care, I will be watching the puppy bowl in the background while I play all the new levels of Angry Birds☺

Weekend Wrapping it up...

Dearest Bloggy Readers, I love ya! I have just hit 1005 followers and I couldn't appreciate it more☺ I know I've been neglectful of my personal rants on here the past couple of weeks and I apologize. If you can't laugh at me, who are you going to make fun of???

Here's my latest designs, more to come when finalized...

So what else, what else...I've been continuing my Jazz dance class and we are performing in the summer. I mostly enjoy going to Balboa Park and hanging out w/my friend. The dancing is like an '80s Richard Simmons work out! If we video it I may have to add it here.

Jersey Shore continues to amuse. Wish they would explain to the dummies that Sammi is the one who has been wronged. FYI in real life her and Ronnie broke up. I'm actually hoping that won't last, she makes him a better person. Everyone rags on her for being a cling on yet, she's dragging him to church, working out w/him, and just doing positive things like not drinking and acting out. Not sure why that makes her a bad girlfriend??

No movies, reality t.v., or new things in general coming out. Let me know if you have seen something worth seeing. I can always use some good entertainment!

Thanks for reading,
T♥

Weekend Wrap Up Baby!

Hey all!  Missed you on the blog this week but tried to keep on on Twitter;0

Nothing and the usual nothing has happened this weekend. Giveaways keep on going, working on several logos including my contest winner. Can't wait to show it to you guys, it's soooo cute! Kawaii♥

We are having some crazy weather here and it feels like a f'n stuffy dessert. Sometimes I don't know whether to heat or a/c? We go from freezing at night to yuck in the day:( Definitely not good Xmas weather.

In order to keep what little friends and supporters I have, I am offering a newsletter subscription for my Give it to me Tara! blog.

Did you know that people hate SPAM?? lol

I'm really enjoying my return to Etsy and mostly leaving the corporate design world. Etsians are so much easier to deal with and generally have the same tastes/style I'm familiar with. So it's been a real pleasure working with some of you again!

Hoping this week to make it over to the Hotel Del to see their beautiful Xmas tree. It's a special place for me and my hubby. After we met he took me to Coronado and I finally had someone who appreciated the Victorian era to talk to! We went every time I was pregnant and now we take our kids yearly.

Etsy $20 Shop Package is ending on the 25th click below...

Have a fantastic week everybody and please join our Give it to me Monday! blog hop below.

Thanks for reading,

Weekend Wrap Up 11/21

Hey all! Glad to be writing something I can make as long as I want and not have to squish it into a twitter box!!! lol

So as I said a couple of days ago, I have now been sucked into the Twitter vortex.

Tara on Twitter aka Twittering Tara:)

I promise to still keep up all of my blogs and not overwhelm everyone w/SPAM and other cr*p we all don't need in our lives!

This weekend was probably the most relaxing I've had in a while. Friday evening we went to Harry Potter, which was so fantastic I actually shut up for 2 1/2 hours straight!!! lol Saturday we watched it rain and ate yummy warm Italian food. Mostly, we just enjoyed eachother's company. We have the new Kinect and I've been playing the Dance game non stop. Completely recommend it for weight loss, I think I lost 5 pounds in one week! If I give up the ice cream for breakfast and brownies for lunch, I may get off the morbidly obese BMI scale;) I'm not even sure what that crap means, but almost everyone in the world is the wrong weight according to this government tool, so it's gotta be wrong!

Moving on.. we did our band/singing thing today and sang a lot of Zeppelin songs. If you go back and actually listen to these, you will hear Robert Plant is warbling inappropriately. Not inappropriate for me, but for the 3 kids that were hovering around. I wouldn't let my husband record our session, if you get my meaning??? Love the Zeppelin for playing the bass, but singing it doesn't work for me. Same w/the Beatles, too much talky, talky, not enough singy, singy!! lol

This week is Thanksgiving break for the kids and I'm going to drop them off at g'mas for a well deserved rest. Hoping to get through the holidays w/out gaining another 14 pounds, which is what I have gained since summer. It's so funny, I can eat 500 calories a day, walk, work out for 45 min., cook/clean/work, run around w/dogs, and still no weight lost on these meds:( Crazy or fat, ya just can't win!

Off to Tweet probably, this sh#t is really addicting!

Thanks for reading, hopping, supporting my new blog and giveaways, I truly appreciate my bloggy friends!

P.S. What do you think about the new blog background?? I can't make up my mind but I always love the contrast btwn. neon pink and green☺
